BIG THEMEIN ’ ‘HER GILDED CAGE”
Should a woman deny herself the happiness of a man’s love, to devote her life to an invalid sister’s happiness? This is the problem that is solved by Gloria Sw'anson,' in her, latest Paramount picture, “Her Gilded Cage,” due on Wednesday night. Miss Swanson has in this, one of the most colourful roles in her career. She portrays a little French girl, who later becomes famous as a singer and dancer, and under the stage name of “Fleur D’Amour,” creates a sensation. Her career, however, is as a gilded cage, which separates her from her own happiness and the love of the man to whom she is devoted. But this she believes to be necessary for her sister’s happiness, to which she has saorified her all. The finale is a happy one. “ADAM’S RIB” ON FRIDAY.
, What is claimed to be a new world’s motion picture record for the number of cameras used, in , proportion to the size of the shot, was established during the making of “Adam’s Rib,” Cecil B. De Mille’s newest Paramount picture, which will be on view at the Maoriland Theatre, next Friday. The number of cameras used was ten. The scene was one of destruction, therefore there .could be no retakes. The six-foot spot on which the camera battery focussed was the double door to the throne-room, where Theodore Kosloff, as “King Jaromir,” awaits the onslaught of the, revolutionists, who dethroned him and sent him in exile to America. Over two hundred rabid Reds fought and cut their way to and through this door, ripping it aside as if it were of paper, tearing rioh hangings toshreds, jumping on mahogany tables with, hob-nailed boots and committing real damage. Nervous Cameramen were themselves the target of a battery of rifle-armed revolutionists, discharging volleys towards the throne.
